Making Snack Time Fun With Homemade Squeeze Pouches!

If you have a toddler in your life, you probably know that those little squeeze pouches are probably their favorite food. For me, it’s such an easy way to get their fruit and vegetable servings in daily. It’s convenient for parent and child. But sometimes, buying them regularly can get a bit pricey.

With Squooshi, you can make your own reusable food pouches and save yourself lots of money! It’s also a really great way to involve your children in helping make their snacks. There are so many other benefits to making your own squeeze pouches, let me share with you some facts from Squooshi.

Spaghetti has always been one of my favorite dishes to cook and eat! There is just something special about Italian food. It is so rich and hearty.

This recipe is a family recipe passed down from my Aunt Candace. She was a great inspiration to me in the kitchen. I remember days when she would bring out the old, I mean old, recipe cards to proudly show off. She shared some pretty amazing things with me. I am so happy that I have the opportunity to share this with you! 😉

Place all meat into a large stock pot with diced onion and bell pepper

Cook the meat and veggies until completely done

Drain fat if desired

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well

Place lid on and cook on medium low to simmer for 2-3 hours stirring occasionally (the longer, the better!)

Cook Pasta and Serve!

Notes

Tip for those of you who have not cooked with Bay Leaves, take them out when you serve the sauce over pasta. If you notice a little grease floating on the top of the sauce, don't panic. It is from the sausage. All you have to do is spoon it out on a napkin.

This is a great recipe to make when you know you’ll be home most of the day. Sometimes I will let mine cook for 3 hours on low. The house smells amazing after cooking this recipe. When they can’t take it any longer, pop in a pound of pasta to boil for 10 minutes, drain and serve!

It is a great dish for freezing left-overs too. Simply pour into freezer bags after cooling and freeze for a busy day when you have little or no time to prepare a delicious hot meal for your family.
